The Farm
Harmony Farm is located on a 280+ acre stewarded by the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt. The farm, a not-for-profit entity, started as a small community garden and has grown to a small 10 acre farm. Highbridge Community Life Center, sponsored the farm since the early 1990s under the leadership of Sister Carole Keaney, OSU. The Sisters are grateful for all the vision and hard work of Highbridge Community Life Center and are excited that the commitment to local, fresh, affordable food continues at Harmony Farm. The farm has undergone many changes since those first days. Since 2020, in response to the many pressures created by the CoViD-19 pandemic, we maximize production on the farm, limit our CSA to 20 families and donate all remaining produce to local food pantries and soup kitchens.
We are dedicated to creating an environmentally sustainable model of successful small-scale farming. We adhere to the principles and practices of organic farming, learning to understand the farm as a whole organism, and promoting natural processes that facilitate the production of healthy food. The soil is the base of all life on the farm. By nurturing healthy soils and a balanced ecosystem, we can produce healthy plants with strong resistance to pest and disease problems, eliminating the need for chemical pest and disease controls that may pollute our environment and poison our bodies.
At Harmony Farm we also realize the importance of economic sustainability in successful small scale farming. The farm is an effort to create a community of families that are invested in the local foods movement and willing to support the growth of small organic farms.
Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program aims to restore the connection between people, their food, and the land. Members and their families are always welcome at the farm and have the opportunity to see where their food comes from and how it is grown. We encourage their participation through a limited working share program, various volunteer opportunities throughout the season, and organized community events on the farm.
We look forward to a successful and productive growing season this year!
